The 12 Best Black TV Shows Of 2018
Love Is
For all of the lovers of all things 90s-related, Love Is was literally a dream come true when it premiered last summer. Not only was the series (based on and created by Mara Brock Akil and husband Salim) filled with the perfect 90s R&B soundtrack, it also beautifully showcased that old-school love that many of us are currently longing for.
Watching the love story between TV writer Nuri and aspiring TV writer Yasir, is like watching a beautiful flower unfold, even if it includes the trials and tribulations that plague real world couples as well. Unfortunately, with the allegations raised against Salim Akil, the show won’t be continuing. But the series was nice while it lasted.
